Making more things like healthy homemade waffles is one of my ambitions. I want my children to enjoy comfort foods such as homemade waffles, but I want them to be healthy. For a start I thought I would create my own mix instead of a box variety. In my quest for a recipe base, I found numerous recipes for healthy waffles and yet most of the recipes called for white flour, two sticks of butter and nearly two cups of milk (not exactly what I consider healthy). I want my family to enjoy waffles however; I do want them to be nutritious.
This is my attempt at making healthy homemade waffles! I reduced the amount of butter by half, I substituted some of the white flour for ground flaxseed and I added unsweetened applesauce to make it healthier. This is my version of a “Healthy Homemade Waffles”. I also made sautéed cinnamon waffles to put on top. I did not add sugar to the apples, because I find once you add maple syrup or powdered sugar it was too sweet. And since I am trying to reduce my family’s sugar intake it was perfect!
